Description

Finally had some time to collect some data and test out a new scope and filter. First night with the Celestron C 80 ED-R (with upgraded monorail linear bearing focuser) and the Baader ultra narrowband 3.5nm H alpha filter. Only 2.5 hours of integration so quite noisy but already showing much more detail than the Sky-Watcher 72ed and 7nm filter I had imaged this target with last year. Hopefully I will be able to capture some more H alpha along with Oiii soon to complete the image.
Image was processed with curves, levels and star reduction using Photoshop and Starnet ++.
